Batang Yagit in PBA ‘08
September 22, 2008
I still can’t find the words to write. It’s almost eight hours now when I came to this quasi utopia state. The sensations I felt hours ago are still fresh. I want to muster the right words to say (or write) but I can’t. All I can think of right at the moment is THANK YOU.
Going back twenty hours before the event, Jehz and I were at home, browsing the internet and checking the progress of the votes for Batang Yagit from technorati. Even at the very last day of the voting period, several people were still able to cast their precious votes. Most of whom are coming from the Visayas and the Mindanao region.

Batang Yagit para sa PBA Bloggers’ Choice Award
September 16, 2008
Ako po si Batang Yagit, isang blogger na taga-Mindanao (Davao City). Ako po ay natutuwa sa pagkakapasok ko bilang nominee sa Philippine Blog Awards Bloggers’ Choice Award. Ito ang pangalawang nomination ko para sa PBA 2008.
Noong nakaraang buwan, nakatanggap ako ng email galing sa mga organizers ng PBA na nagsasabing nanominate ang Digital Puto blog ko para sa Photo Blog na category. Mas higit kong ikinagalak nang malaman kong nakapasok ang Batang Yagit sa mga finalist para sa Bloggers’ Choice Award. Yayks. For the Win ang yagit.
Marami rin sa mga kakilala ko ang nakapasok sa nomination. Kung marami lang kaming mga yagit nag nagblo-blog, pakikiusapan ko ang lahat ng yagit sa world na iboto ang mga kakilala ko. Tsk tsk tsk. Pero dahil nag-iisa lang ako, ibibigay ko ang aking boto kay “Batang Yagit”.
“Wala pang yagit na nanalo ng award, sana ako ang una”.

Goodyear Autocare in Mandaue
September 13, 2008
A week before I left for Manila for the WordCamp Philippines 2008 event, I received a call from Ms. Karla Tecson inviting me (and my blogging friends) to attend the launch of Goodyear’s Autocare center in Maguikay, Mandaue City. Because the event fell on a Thursday (August 28, 2008), only three of us (bloggers) responded to the invitation. Present were McBilly, X and me.

Wordcamp Philippines
September 6, 2008
A lot of people were wondering what happened to my blog after becoming idle for a couple of months. I’ve been very busy with my studies in Cebu City that I was not able to find time for my blog. But that didn’t stop me from getting involved with blogging.
Last Thursday, I flew to Manila for the most awaited event, the WordCamp Philippines 2008. Five months ago, we started doing our preparations for the event in Davao and Manila. But I am very glad that the 8-hour event turned out successfully.
Hundreds of Wordpress users and developers attended Southeast Asia’s first WordCamp. The event was graced by the presence of the creator of Wordpress Matt Mullenweg.
The success of WordCamp Philippines 2008 won’t be possible without the collaboration of the members of the organizing team, the sponsors, the blogger and student volunteers.

When kindness exceeds its limits

Warning: This is an emo post.
This is one of the instances in my life where I have to say, “it’s enough”. I can’t understand why other people can’t appreciate and recognize what you are doing. Urrggghh.. I can’t find the words to say. So here…
- You joined this organization in college hoping that this organization is the perfect venue for your skills.
- The first few months (or years) of your org experience was heaven. You went to a lot of places, did a lot of things, and most of all, you enjoyed a lot. You were given assignments and duties which helped you develop your skills.
- You worked hard hoping that after your first year in that org, they will give you the position which best suites your skills.
- Then later you found out that the position given to you was the position you least liked. Then you started to question your skills and capabilities. You began to feel insecurities beginning to lurk within you.
- Then it became a cycle and was repeated the following year. You did not go against the system. You decided to ride with the system.
- You continued feeding the org with your skills, yet, you did not ask anything in return.
- And now you are leaving the organization, and tried keeping all the bitterness you kept for the last three years, you still find yourself longing for more.
- You find leaving the org hard. You find the need to share more.
- You were again, exerting a lot of effort for the last project you can contribute for the org but the org seems to neglect your efforts.
Until now, I can’t manage to fix my messy thoughts. My brain functions badly when I’m angry or disturbed. grrr..
I already approached someone from the org and told the person I will discontinue the project this week. I guess I’m approaching my limit.
* * *
I just hope the money I’m waiting arrives today. I need to replenish my bank account after that expensive Manila trip last week. Tsk tsk tsk.

this org is definitely not the sole determiner of what you’re capable of that’s why you should never question your skills despite being left unappreciated.. you’ve shared enough i believe.. maybe, it’s time that you leave them to tie their own shoelaces..

halos di ko napansin ang link. haha

@benj - astig no? mag kasing kulay lang kasi.. hehe

I feel partly to blame. I have been trying to get the scanners, but with my ojt, I just can’t find the time or space to look for cheap ones. I can’t even use the internet at home any more.
I know the least you want right now is reasons, because I know you’ve either had very little or very few of such during your stay with us. But the damage has been done, and for now, I guess the most logical and moral thing to say is sorry. I owe you a lot of apologies.
But just so you’ll know, I am very grateful that you have been part of Kalasag. You were probably very disappointed with a lot of things by staying, but for what it’s worth, a lot of people are going to miss you terribly. It’s not worth much, but I hope it reminds you that your presence as a friend and colleague was of more importance to us than your skills (though I should say your skills have been of extremely great help, such that no amount of thanks could ever express the extent of our being grateful).

see? maski ako nasisiraan ng bait.
“very few or quite a lot.”
Sorry ulit.
Peace!

[...] thought packing-up is going to be an emo activity but it was not. Maybe it was brought upon by the not-so-nice experience I had with them these past few [...]
separation anxieties? Get over it. Yeah! Move on!

@aethen: definitely no. hehehehe.

I think there will always be situations like that in any environment, Wins, whether you are in school, in the office or even at home. Either you bend or break, the decision is yours. Cherish the good memories and be happy. That’s all that matters.

@dulce: that’s the best I can do ate. hehehe. thanks for the advice.
